Since you may need to respin would you mind spelling this out a bit
more in the comment ? Maybe:
-/* We want SKB_SMALL_HEAD_CACHE_SIZE to not be a power of two. */
+/* We want SKB_SMALL_HEAD_CACHE_SIZE to not be a power of two.
+ * This should ensure that SKB_SMALL_HEAD_HEADROOM is a unique
+ * size, and we can differentiate heads from skb_small_head_cache
+ * vs system slabs by looking at their size (skb_end_offset()).
